The Adorable Reaction of a Young Girl Meeting ‘Wonder Woman’ Gal Gadot

"You're a warrior."

Meeting your idol can be overwhelming. That was certainly the case when a young girl met her ultimate idol, Wonder Woman, at Comic Con on Saturday.

Gal Gadot, the star of “Wonder Woman,” was signing autographs at the annual sci-fi convention with fellow actors of her upcoming film, “Justice League,” when a young girl in tears, named Ashley, approached her for an autograph.

“Wonder Woman” broke international records at the box-office as the highest grossing film ever directed by a woman. It’s also been inspiring children with an empowering message on gender equality since the film hit theaters in June this year. The film’s director, Patty Jenkins, and Gal Gadot have not confirmed whether or not they will be a part of the sequel, but Jenkins told CNN that Gadot was a huge part of the reason the first film was so successful.

“Not only do I believe in her, she blows me away," Jenkins told CNN. "It made it much easier to have the greatest Wonder Woman in the world put in the palm of my hand."

And until a “Wonder Woman” sequel is back in theaters, it’s encouraging to see an on-screen superhero take on a role empowering girls and women in her own everyday life.

“These characters matter and can have a huge influence on young people,” Keller wrote on Facebook. “What a great role model and genuine, nice person. My daughter will always remember this moment for the rest of her life. Thank you, Gal Gadot!”
